It isn’t exactly a girlie gadget but we couldn’t resist this one. This piece of gadget goodness is highly functional especially during these hot summer months when flies drive you mad when you’re trying to enjoy a nice barbeque.

I’m especially drawn to it as I recently purchased two “natural” fly catchers and managed to kill them within hours due to my poor ability to grow anything in my garden.

This has to be either the most wonderful idea ever, or the most impractical. Part of me loves the idea of carrying a laptop bag which looks like I’m packing some serious heat. Get away criminals! Stay away evildoers!

The other part of me says this is useless outside of the USA where you are more likely to be shot yourself for carrying an illegal weapon.

Let’s put it this way - I won’t be carrying this when I travel over to England this week….

Can you tell we are obsessed with diamonds? Even better when those shiny beauties are placed in normally boring looking gadgets. Take for instance this way over the top 14K real gold USB drive which is, as Born Rich puts it, festooned with VS quality diamonds.

For only $2000(!) you can pick up this gaudy delight. But that is money well spent, after all it is a 2.0 USB drive. Worth every penny for that extra transfer speed.

Sadly, the device cannot be worn on your finger.

You know how it is, a purse full of pictures that are old, dusty and wrinkly - and that’s just the family! Why bother with such old fashioned technology when you can keep people entertained for literally minutes with a digital keychain picture display. This pink beauty can hold a small but perfectly formed 35 digital pictures and is just $23.

And just in case you are not into pink (what’s wrong with you?!) then you can also get this great little gadget in red and silver colors too.

I’ve probably moaned before about the lack of really beautiful phones to arrive in the US, having lived in Europe for many years and being spoiled with an abundance of pink mobile devices.

Thankfully you can now snap up the new phone from the good people at Vertu. The cell phone features tiny pink and white diamonds all lovingly paved in a sweet rosy color.

Don’t even ask how much this baby will cost when it starts to ship in its strictly limited numbers….

This is one of those really funky devices we love at Pretty Gadgets. Firstly, it’s not bad looking and secondly it has a real practical purpose.

The solar beach tote actually recharges your PDAs, PSPs, Music players etc from inside the bag thanks to its nifty inbuilt solar panel.

You can pick this back up for only $249.99 which is not bad considering the amount of free charging you will get out of it thanks to our lovely free solar supply. Additionally, you can remove the solar panel. Use it separately from the bag, or just to clean your tote!

I know what you’re thinking, how many times have you needed a 59 diamond-studded mouse to impress your office buddies? Or perhaps the question should be, how many times have you wanted to flush $25,000 down the drain?

That’s what this mouse monster costs and it doesn’t even feature an ergonomic design. Tsk. As Shiny Shiny says, it IS very sparkly but then I would prefer to spend that money on a nice Tiffany item thankyouverymuch.

Somehow I don’t think I will be wearing these items any time soon, but I love the idea. Mike and Maaike have come up with pixelated leather jewelry called Stolen Jewels.

They say the items are - “An exploration of tangible vs. virtual in relation to real and perceived value. Using Google Image Search, we browsed through some of the most expensive and often famous jewelry in the world, the resulting low-res images we found were stolen, doctored, then transferred onto leather, creating a tangible new incarnation. With the expense of the jewels and the intricacy of their construction stripped away, their essence and visual intensity are extracted.”

Just how geeky is this? Admit it, it’s a fun idea and will certainly give you plenty of attention if you were to wear them.

Not sure if you really WANT male geeky attention, mind you.

Remember the old dancing flowers of the past that used to bounce and jig while While Lines was blasting on the old box stereo? Well, we all know the recent success of iDog has moved such daft technology to the next generation.

Now comes a new funky device dubbed the iPenguin - designed to dance and light up like a Christmas tree when it “hears” your music. Plus the fact the creature is super cute really helps.

Fancy a different way to store all those important half finished book ideas, dodgy pictures and music you normally store on your pocket USB drive? Take a look at this - it’s a USB stick stuck in a fairly fashionable tiny bag. There is a nice touch though - the bag inflates with the amount of data you add to it.

Personally, I would love his if they could make miniature Louis Vuitton or Fendi bags but then the price would also inflate, and not just the mini bags themselves.
